own feelings under the circumstances.
I also fear
that continuing
my duties there would cause more
unpleasantness to Your Excellency
than my services could compensate
for and my position there under such circumstances would after all not be tenable for any length of time.
I tender this with much reluctance because I feel and shall ever feel under great
obligations for Your Excellency's great kindness and unmerited forbearance. I am sure,
however, Your Excellency will understand that it is not ingratitude
which prompts this action on
my part but that I have no other
choice under the circumstances
but to ask you to relieve me
of my duties and whilst accepting
my resignation to preserve
for me that
generous trust and
confidence with which Your
Excellency honoured me so
long.
Your obedient Servant
